A starship is orbiting Milgram, a large moon of the planet Erdosar. The ship's sensor array detects that the temperature on the surface of the moon is
5.4°F
. What is this temperature in degrees Celsius (
°C
)?
Use the given formulas as necessary, and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
We can use the formula to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius:
°C = (°F - 32) x 5/9
Substituting the given temperature, we get:
°C = (5.4 - 32) x 5/9
°C = (-26.6) x 5/9
°C = -14.8
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a degree, we get:
°C ≈ -14.8
Susan is planning on visiting Harbin next week on business. Checking her WorldTemp app, she notices that on the day she arrives, the high temperature is forecast to be
−21.7°C
. What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (
°F
)?
Use the given formulas as necessary, and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
We can use the formula to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit:
°F = (°C x 9/5) + 32
Substituting the given temperature, we get:
°F = (-21.7 x 9/5) + 32
°F = (-21.7 x 1.8) + 32
°F = -37.06 + 32
°F = -5.06
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a degree, we get:
°F ≈ -5.1
To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the formula:
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9.
Given that the temperature on the surface of the moon is 5.4°F, we can use the formula to convert it to degrees Celsius:
°C = (5.4 - 32) × 5/9.
Calculating this:
°C = (-26.6) × 5/9.
Now, simplify the expression:
°C ≈ - 14.78.
Therefore, the temperature on the surface of the moon in degrees Celsius is approximately -14.8°C.
To convert the temperature from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), we can use the formula:
°C = (°F - 32) * 5/9
First, let's substitute the given temperature into the formula:
°C = (5.4°F - 32) * 5/9
Now, we can simplify this expression:
°C = (-26.6) * 5/9
Since -26.6 * 5 is -133 and -133/9 is approximately -14.8, the temperature in degrees Celsius is approximately -14.8°C.
Therefore, the temperature on the surface of the moon, Milgram, is approximately -14.8°C.
